You have to break down a problem to GPT just like you would to a human, and if it misunderstands you or asks you, you'd have to elaborate just the same. It's modeled after us, after all. The rubber duck is a stand-in for a human. GPT also is. But just a vastly better one.

Of course.

The part I was responding to was this:

> when the duck actually has read the Internet and has useful suggestions and ideas back to share

I think that if it does that, it's legitimately less useful as a rubber duck. I'm not saying it isn't useful -- it's just not useful as a rubber duck anymore.

Similarly, but not quite, I often find browsing new submits on HN more useful than simply going through the front page. Just because, uh, front page is decided by statistics, that is, the community's neurotypicals
